[jQuery] Re: Noob question about wrapped sets
Thank you Jules! I thought that *might* be the case, but seeing the tell-tail jQuery code in the DHTML was a little confusing to me. But yes, I think I understand it now. alt is a normal JavaScript object, NOT jQuery. So when accessing JS objects I must always use the [0]. This also seems to apply when initializing a variable, as in var myVariable = $(#myElement)[0]; Thanks again!

[jQuery] Re: noob question, computability issues with a different date picker
can't understand what you say.sorry. 2009/7/9 labbit nick@gmail.com Hello everyone, I tried posting a message before, but it didn't get posted, so here's another go. I'm completely new to jquery development and I wanted to use this date picker, since it also uses time as well http://razum.si/jQuery-calendar/TimeCalendar.html However, it did not say what to do, how, or where to change or add the code of his particular date picker with the standard one given in the UI code provided (his code is given through page source, then at top, the jquery.js and jquery-calendar.js files) . Is there a viable solution to getting his code working to get the calendar and time picker? Also, does the fact that his jquery.js file is running 1.1.2 make a difference. If my last message got posted, I apologize for double posting
[jQuery] Re: noob question
Hi bart, let me cite from the spec:
get(): Access all matched DOM elements. This serves as a backwards-
compatible way of accessing all matched elements (other than the
jQuery object itself, which is, in fact, an array of elements). It is
useful if you need to operate on the DOM elements themselves instead
of using built-in jQuery functions.
.get() returns DOM elements not a jQuery object where all the magic
stuff happens. To match the first element in a jQuery you need to do:
// either this
$('p.fl').eq(0).css('background','red');
// or this
$('p.fl').slice(0,1).css('background','red');
// or this
$('p.fl:first').css('background','red');
There's a couple of other ways to do that but I guess this is enough.

Somehow I don't get the concept of get() right. The following

Now what I'm trying to do here is select the first paragraph from all

a visual id by making it red but it's more about grabbing the element
really. There's probably a very good reason why this doesn't work but
what I understand from documentation this should work?
This ultimate goal is to hide a paragraph based on it's index. This
index is gotten from a clicked link. So far I've got this, but it's
stuck on the get() part.
$('a.leesmeer').click(function()
{
var nmbr = $('a.leesmeer').index(this);
$('p.fl').get(nmbr).hide();
$('div.case').get(nmbr).show();
return false;

Why do you need to access the element? Are you trying to get the

$('items item').each(i,o) {
// in this loop 'i' is the index of the loop iteration

var $item = $(o); // could also do: var $item = $(this);

Let's say you've got the element stored in a variable as an
XMLElement, then it would be a simple matter to refer to the jQuery
object of the element itself, for example, for variable elem:

[jQuery] Re: Noob question: How to access a PHP variable and append it to the html?
Your best approach would be to write a PHP script that serves data in XML or JSON format and then invoke the script from a $.ajax call in jQuery. Then you process the data you get back and insert it into your document as appropriate. Sorry for being vague, but without more information that's the best I can do.

[jQuery] Re: Noob question: How to access a PHP variable and append it to the html?
There are a lot of way to take data via ajax.
I always use this one:
Client side:
data = param1=fooparam2=bar
$.ajax({
type: POST,
url: ajax.php,
data: data,
dataType: json,
success: function(data_result) { FillResult(data_result) } //
on success the FillResult will be fired passing the result data from
the php call
});
function FillResult(data) {
$('#divtofill').html(data.param1+br /+data.param2);
}
on server side:
?php
$param1 = $_POST['param1']; // here you have to check if in post there
is the data you expect for security reasons
$param2 = $_POST['param2']; // here you have to check if in post there
is the data you expect for security reasons
// then you can retrieve your data in the way you want, I'm going to
return the posted data
json_encode($_POST); // this function comes from the json php
extension, which is included by default in php5, in php4 you can find
it via PECL.

Hi John,
thanks for the info, I'll try that.
But it seems that there is another problem, because the part where
the .attr(style) thing is checked, depends on the link beiing
generated, wich does not happen in IE.
The result of the code in IE is
h3img / Text/h3
(which is the static html code)
in Firefox and Safari (didn't checked with Opera) it is
h3aimg /img /Text spananother Text/span/h3
(static code plus the 'inserted' code through jQuery)

I'm new to jQuery and can't figure this one out.
Instead of using an ajax get and innerHTML to load in external html, I

$(emptyDiv).load(externalHTMLFile);
which I like!
I would like to do is make better use of the graceful animations that
jQuery has. I would prefer that the external HTML not show up so
suddenly, but instead to slide or fade in place. It's not clear to me
how to make that happen. I tried chaining, but by the time the
content is loaded, the chained animation doesn't really do the trick:
$emptyDiv).load(externalHTMLFile, function()
{$emptyDiv.slideDown('slow');});
If you know of answer, please share. Thanks for any help.

[jQuery] Re: noob question - load function - dynamic content to slide in place
Cool - I get it now.
I found that my problem was really that the target div for inserting
my HTML wasn't set to display:none; to begin with, so animating it to
a block state was just not happening.
Thanks for your response - I appreciate the group.

Tony,
try:
(for an ID)
$('#emptyDiv').load(externalHTML, function(){
$(this).slideDown('slow');
});
(for a class)
$('.emptyDiv').load(externalHTML, function(){
$(this).slideDown('slow');
});
